Summary
Dear travelers, I would like to use this moment to break the silence.NS conductors will make a special broadcast today between 9:30 and 10:30 am.With this message they ask travelers to look after each other, engage in conversation and really listen to each other.The action is part of the national campaign Lives at a standstill, which the Dutch Railway Sector (NS, ProRail, Arriva, Keolis and Qbuzz) launched yesterday with 113 Suicide Prevention.
Special broadcaster in Intercitys Conductors can voluntarily participate in the campaign.The broadcast message could sound as follows: Dear travelers, I would like to use this moment to break the silence. In the rail sector, we ask everyone to look out for each other a little more during this period. Because we believe that a sincere conversation can be a way to make the world a little more beautiful for many people [...]. We can imagine that a broadcaster like this is surprising. But we meet the whole world on the train and we notice that there are many people who are having a hard time.
The conductor is given this as a guideline, but can make his or her own choice.The broadcast is made in Intercity trains between 9:30 and 10:30 am.Intercity trains were deliberately chosen because the time between stops is longer there than with Sprinters.This prevents travelers from having to continue with their daily activities shortly after receiving the message.
